Abstract :
This paper is aimed at studying and evaluating the performance of two algorithms suitable for load control enhancement in "session initiation protocol" servers. A shrewd management of SIP call-control messages is key for the performance of telecom infrastructures, since SIP is rapidly gaining momentum to be the #1 protocol for session signaling in next-generation multimedia converged networks. The work will show simulation results related to the performance of a virtual server belonging to a real server SIP farm under both homogeneous and non-homogeneous traffic scenarios.
